PhD opportunity
Are you passionate about tackling critical challenges facing our communities through impactful research?
We invite dedicated PhD candidates to apply for our PhD program focused on the intricate connections between housing, built environments, and health. You will engage in research that investigates the way housing and built environments shape our wellbeing across the life course, leverage data and statistical methods to uncover causal impacts and emerging priorities, and examine interventions and policies aimed at supporting healthy, secure, and climate resilient housing, along with other pressing research topics.
This is an opportunity to contribute to rigorous research, participate in empirical investigations that inform better practices, and collaborate with a diverse network of researchers committed to driving meaningful changes.
Suitable candidates will be supported to apply for scholarships.
